Actor Herbie Faye, 1899-1980
Actor Ned Glass, 1906-1984
Confession time: I almost always get the above-pictured two character actors confused.
Herbie Faye got his show-biz start in vaudeville. He was a prolific movie and television actor, probably best known for appearing in both of Phil Silvers' CBS-TV series, The Phil Silvers Show (1955–1959) and The New Phil Silvers Show (1963–1964).
Ned Glass was also a vaudeville veteran who made numerous TV and movie appearances during his career, and is probably best known for playing Doc in 1961's West Side Story.
They were born within a handful of years from each other, and died within a handful of years from each other! They both lived to be approximately the same age (Herbie died at eighty-one, Ned at seventy-eight).
Comedians Joey Faye (no relation to Herbie), Phil Silvers, and Herbie.

Funny thing: Ned Glass also appeared on The Phil Silvers Show, and Herbie Faye also appeared in The Fortune Cookie! But I couldn't find a good photo of either of those appearances.
So. Separated at birth? Or were they the same guy?!?
Thanks for your time.
